    I just bought my first butterfly knife.. it's a Kershaw lucha balisong 4.5" stainless steel, bought from Blade HQ. Never done this before, but I've been flipping and fidgeting with things since I was a little kid. Pencils, pens, knives, remote controls, fish picks (commercial fishing), you name it, I've probably hefted it and tried giving it a flip or a twirl in my hand.
    Excited to try this out :)

    Quite a few of the aluminum channel amazon balisongs have gone down in price to around $50 (notably the c116 and the addax) and on top of that the comet has gotten a new version with G10 scales which from what I've heard are good quality and add a very good amount of grip, only downside is that its slightly more expensive than the others at around $70

  • @blankblank4949
    @blankblank4949 Год назад +8

    just wanna say this, even if it is unpopular. if you are sub 45$, you can genuinely do pretty well with CERTAIN clones on aliexpress etc. just takes some research. Yeah it sucks that youre buying from someone who is ripping off from someone who went through the painstaking process of designing an amazing balisong. but the fact is, there are plenty of you out there that genuinely cant be spending more than that for a balisong (even if you are experienced), and you can do alot better with clones if you are stuck at that pricepoint, so if its the best you can do you shouldn't feel terrible about it. sorry bladebias; if you didnt want this on ur video feel free to ask me to delete it, i just feel like this can help alot of people in this hobby.

    I bought a falcon by Theone when it was 40 dollars and that’s what I learned on. It took a month to get to me but it really got me into the hobby. Sure, it wasn’t the best first Bali but it was a first step. I still flip it today and it is ok.

    If your broke and want metal (not great metal) and can get some fine grit sandpaper for the scales then nabalius g10 new style for $22 is a steal. On bearings only 3 cons. It's a little small, screws suck, and there's a latch but after locktight snd removing the latch your all good. Not a lot of play and have bought 4 of there styles to kinda test there quality control and they all came with everything and 1 has more play then rest but 0 tap on all of them. 1 or 2 I didn't even locktight. I do have some nicer balisongs that I would rather want to flip but if I only had $25 to use, Id get nabalius g10 new style in my opinion it is still better then all the 3d plastic ones. Also helps teach you if it's your first trainer that you aren't suppose to just swing the handles super hard and crazy, control matters. Some of those plastic ones are just are way to light and give a totally diffrent feel to the flipping experience. Obviously the ones that are weighted arent to bad I'd assume but I dont have a plastic one thats weighted but they are pretty expensive for what your getting
    I forgot to add this con it can feel sponge sometimes if you know what I'm saying then you know.
